Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
Ordinance 2897-2013 authorized the Director of Public Service to execute a three-year agreement with the Short North Special Improvement District (SID) for the design, production, and distribution of communications materials such as flyers, signs, websites and related services to inform the public about public parking availability, locations, and policies in the Short North.

Under the terms of that agreement, the City of Columbus was to reimburse the Short North SID up to $3,825.00 per year from 2014 through 2016, to be paid from a $75.00 annual permit parking surcharge to be collected from Short North employees of businesses between High Street, Pearl Street, Hubbard Avenue and Russell Street allowed to purchase parking permits in Permit Area I, as proposed by the Short North Parking Working Group on November 8, 2013, as recommended for implementation by the Transportation and Pedestrian Commission on November 12, 2013, and as updated and recommended by an approved motion of the Short North Parking Working Group on December 6, 2013, pending Transportation and Pedestrian Commission approval of a parking petition that would allow these permits to be issued within its boundaries.

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to execute a second contract modification to provide funding for year three of the three-year agreement. The City agrees to reimburse the Short North Special Improvement District, Inc. for actual costs associated with the procurement, design, production, and distribution of communications materials and related services to inform the public about public parking in the Short North up to $3,825.00 per year. The materials and related services to be procured, designed, produced, and distributed on behalf of the City by the Short North SID will be subject to the review and approval by the City.

This agreement shall be in effect until December 31, 2016, at which time the terms of the agreement may be renegoti...
